Moved post Twitter thread from prof. Kunst with updated estimates of Long Covid cases and new ME/CFS cases

The newspaper Dagsavisen is following up this story. The health political spokesperson for the socialist party (SV), Marian Hussein, has started to get engaged in ME and supports the patients. She has asked the Minister of Health and Care Services to answer how ME patients should be ensured a...

Thanks for clearing that up for me :)

Thank you Trish. That's a good point. I saw that prof. Kunst has written a new comment to the study. With the first comment I got the impression that one was _more_ likely to develop Long Covid as vaccinated, which was quite surprising.

Spotted this on twitter via prof. Kunst who comments: IMPORTANT FINDING: A key argument for lifting restrictions has been that vaccination substantially reduces chances to get #LongCovid. In a new study, vaccinated people were NOT significantly less likely than unvaccinated to get Long Covid...

A heartbreaking article about severe ME sufferer Aurora's fight with her municipality to get the help she and her doctors says she needs. Dagsavisen: Mens hun venter på helsehjelp, ligger Aurora (24) i mørket google translation: While she waits for health care, Aurora (24) lies in the dark...

I've seen an LP coach on Twitter talking about the importance of motivation in order to make changes, and compared LP with going on a diet. You need to be motivated and be willing to do the work in order to expect results. Of course what is implied here is also that those who don't achieve...

Not quite. There's a summary here: https://house.fandom.com/wiki/Tired_Man ETA: To be fair, when clicking on the link to "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" it says: On the series, Molnar thinks he might have CFS, but House effectively treats the condition with candy mints. Thus proving that Molnar...

Spotted on twitter via prof. Kunst who comments: In a new #LongCovid study, one in three patients showed endothelial dysfunction (i.e., diminished ability to widen blood vessels when needed). Also of note, 15 of the 30 patients qualified for #MECFS for which this impairment is frequently observed.

You can read most of the stories in English translation here. More will be added as they're translated. I've heard so many LP stories over the years, but this was still upsetting to read. Many thanks to those who have shared their experience with this method...

ah, at least he agrees GET is not appropriate for everyone

Response from Putrino Lab: “Deconditioning” does not satisfactorily explain any #LongCovid symptoms. Not one. To assert that it does ignores consensus LC science in favor of a reductionist mindset. To assert that it does on a large, “trusted” platform like @IndependentSage places patients in...

Don't know if this from March 16th has been shared already? ABC News AUDIO: Doctors report long COVID and MECFS similarities - The impact of the long term effects of COVID-19 are becoming better understood. It's estimated that up to 30 per cent of people who get infected with COVID show...
